Trump-Harris Race Tightens as Midterms Approach

Harris Opens Narrow Lead in Latest Poll

Vice President Kamala Harris has opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race. According to a recent poll, Harris now polls at 46% favorability among likely voters, while Trump trails at 44%.

This is a significant shift from polls taken before Biden's withdrawal, which showed Harris polling roughly the same as Biden or slightly better against Trump. However, it is still within the margin of error and could change significantly as the election draws near.

Trump Returns to Divisive Rhetoric

Meanwhile, Trump has returned to his divisive rhetoric in speeches following a rare period of restraint in the aftermath of the recent shooting. His comments have drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, who have accused him of stoking tensions and exacerbating the political divide.

As the race enters its final 100 days, it is becoming increasingly clear that the outcome will be determined by a small number of swing voters. Both Harris and Trump will be vying for these voters' support, and their strategies and messaging will likely focus on appealing to this crucial demographic.
